I just realised I don't know how to tell what version of ffs I am using.

Either way, I've been using the default version with NetBSD current and this 
has always been the case for me also, having to decompress the image for grub 
to load it. Passing xen a compressed dom0 is no issue.

I used to think the issue for me was that I use the default location for the 
xen kernel which resides on a different slice than /. But since have another 
system with only one mount point and this is still the case.

If there is a size limit required of the first slice for grub to be able to 
boot the compressed image, I'm guessing I've exceeded it.
